The papers are rehashing the old
Berry story, and they don't CON
clude it in accordance with the fact.
To enlighten them the Graphic
takes pleasure in giving tho only
true and correct version: A celebra-
ted comedian arranged with a gro
Ger, one Berry, pay him quarterly;
but Berry once sent him his account
long before the quarter was due.
Thereupon the comedian in great
wrath, called upon the grocer and
said TO him: al say, here's a pretty
null, Berry; you have sent in your
bill, Berry, before it was due. Berry;
your father, the elder Berry, would
not have been such goose, Berry;
but you needn't look so blue, Berry
for. L don't care straw, Berry; and
if You come here again before June,
Berry, I'll kick your rasp, Berry,
until it is black, Berry.-KimJatt

A citizen of town in Canada,
widower, recently married the
young woman who had been doing
his kitchen work. The event pro-
duced great social futter, and was
unanimously resolved by all the la
dies to give her the coolest kind of
cold shoulder. The bridegroom
probably anticipated something of
the sort, but went off on his tour
undisturbed in mind. When he re-
turned and got out the reception
cards 'P S. gave information:
"The bride has fallen heir to s75,-
600 by the death of an Aunt in
Scotland" The bribe broke down
the front steps and both knobs off
the front doors, and as each lady
backed out to take her departure,
she said: "Now, my dear Mrs. Blank,
do return my call right away; L
shall be SO anxious to see you"
Miss Amanda, daughter of A. j.
Wickline, of MonongaIia county was
sitting on pile of planlls and lean

when she felt something pluck or
pull at her dress on one side and
near the waist. Looking to see
what it could be, she saw large
copperhead snake in one of the in
terestiees between the planks be-
hind her. Nothing dauntcd, she
proceeded to dispatch the reptile,
and then it was discovered that
there was a brood of young ones
After Staying the old one she pulled
down the pile of pIanks and found
and killed twenty young copper
heads They were all big enough
to show fight and they showed it.

The Baltimore Herald is decid-
edly outspoken Republican paper
We make the following extract
from its editorial remarks on the
recent "Wheeling episode:p eEThe
outbreak at Wheeling can result in
nothing but harm to the Republi-
can party. The Foraker stripe of
the mouthy politician has grown
maledorous to the people. The
period for sectional hatred has
passed, the war is actually over, and
the people have come to know it.
They will not endorse the action OF
of any body of men, be they soldiers
or not soldiers, that seeks to revive
the animosities of the North and
South. If the Grand Army of the
Republic is to be utilized to this
end it had better disband. This
country has been thoroughly re
united, the States have been cement
ed by fi.aternal blood, and the ex-
soldier, North and South, whoseels
to stir up the old strife demonstrates
that he is lacking in the most essen
tial element of patriotism.

West Virginia Crops.

In the report of the Statistican OF

month of September, of the condi-

Owing to the continued drought
prevailing throughout the State the
corn prospects for this month are
somewhat discouraging Wheat,
where properly housed when
thrashed, is found to be in good con
dition and of fine quality generally,
but where exposed to the weather
is in bad condition. Oats have not
mot expectations. Buekwheat pros
poets are not so fattering as last

bacco crop is late, and has been
greatly damaged both by the Col

A Chance for Health.

Is afforded those fast sinking into condi-
ton of hopeless debility. The means are at
hand. In the form of genial medical cordial
Hostetter's Stamach Bitters embodies the COM
bined qualities of blood fertilizer and de-
purent, tonic and an alternative. While
promotes digestion and assimilation, and stim-
ulates appetite, has the further effect of puri-
flying the life current and strengthening the
nervous system. As the blood grows richer
aud purer by its use, they who resort to this
sterling medical agent, acquire not only vigor,
but bodily substance. A healthful change in
the secretions is effected by it, and that sure
and rapid physical decay, which chronic
obstruction of the functions Of the system pro-
duce, is arrested. The prime causes Of dis
ease being removed, health IS speedily reno
vatcd and vigor restored.

NEUROLOGY.

LANGENFELD.-At the residence of
Henry Adams near Myrtle Creek Oregon, last
Sunday Feb. aoth, 1887, Mrs. Philena E.
Langenfeld. She was born November 26th,
rS4o, in Cass county, Missouri, and with her
parents came to this valley in 1863. This
highly respected lady united with the Meth
odist church in 1869, and from that time until
God said 'it is enough, come up higher" she
was a consistent member of the church Of her
choice. The subject of this sketch leaves sor
rowing husband, and one little girl less than !
years old to mourn her untimely departure.
Mrs. Langenfeld's miaden name was Cornutt
the sister and relative Of that large and ex
ceIlent family Of Cornutts on Cow creek. Tn,
remains of this lady were taken to Riddle, an,
the funeral services held in the school hous
by Rev. J. Ran. Bell on Feb. ~, 1887, an
the body was then deposited in the Riddi
cemetery, there to await the sound of III
trumpet off the resurrection morning.

The Storm. at Canyonr.lte.
VIOLET

Having seen no account of our late storm
from this part Of the country will say that
it commenced showing here on the first day Of
Feb, it showed all that day and the next, it
continued to snow until it had fallen TO the
depth Of IS inches, it has showed and ,hawed
at intervals up to the present writing. The
snow has left the valley but on the mountain
ranges where there was most stock. The
snow has not diminished Lut very little conse-
quently the loss of stock will be frightful.
On the South Umpqua and Elk creek the
snow was from three to five feet deep and as
far as heard from the weather is very severe
on Middle creek and the Big Bend of Cow
creek the snow has been very deep and most
of the stock will be lost and on all those
mountain ranges where they had a great many
cattle and Sheep. the loss will be severe,
l have been here since 81 and must say, il
was the worst storm ever witnessed, people
were not prepared for il and the loss will be
great this the 10Th day of Feb, 1857.
